I would say that GHS Walkers are hands down the best bagging mowers. The SD decks produced by walker are just that. They are Walkers answer for SD applications (an mulching Applications). You get the Superior cut of a walker mower, along with its mobility and increased productivity. I love the SD deck I have for the MB. I simply don't think I could ask for a better quality cut. It's also, extremely maneuverable. I was totally blown away with the type of hills this thing can hold. Find a Demo, see for yourself. Don't let the fact that just because they are not a popular mower in your area make your decision for you.
